Virtual silicon. Runs firmware on a chip-accurate virtual instance with real peripheral behavior.
Single MCP call. Agents invoke compile, simulate, test or benchmark with one endpoint.
Corpus learning. Each run adds results to a shared corpus searchable by agents.
Remote licensed toolchains. Compiles with IAR, ARMCC, HighTec etc. without local installation.
Synthetic sensor injection. Feeds generated sensor data (camera, CAN, IMU) into live simulation.
Automated test reporting. Provides verdict, trace, coverage and regression info per run.

Multi-provider sandbox support. Run environments on Cloudflare, Deno, Vercel, Daytona, Modal, E2B and more via a single interface.
Instant disposable environments. Spin up isolated dev environments in seconds that are automatically destroyed when done.
Git repository loading. Clone and work with any Git repo directly inside the sandbox.
Secure port and service exposure. Expose ports and services safely without exposing your host network.
Browser-based VS Code. Launch a full VS Code instance in the browser from within the sandbox.
Reproducible environment sharing. Create shareable links that reproduce the exact sandbox state for collaborators.
Point-in-time backups. Rollback a sandbox to a previous state using built-in backup snapshots.
CLI installation. Install Pocketenv via a single curl command for quick local access.
